* Author SD_VIDEO for Panasonic MPEG-2 Viera/BDP
* Author HD DVD discs 3xDVD (HD-DVD on DVD-R media)
* Author SD DVD discs (Standard DVD discs for DVD players)
* transfer DVD backups without reencoding into Blu-ray or AVCHD format (DVD menu is not imported)

* watch Blu-ray Disc backups without reencoding (PS3) (just select your movie M2TS file
from the original BDMV\STREAM folder (the largest one) and use it with multiAVCHD (or import the whole BDMV folder in RE-AUTHOR mode);
multiAVCHD will split it in 4GB chunks, so you'll be able to transfer it to your external USB disk or USB flash drive.

You can re-author a HDMV authored blu-ray disc to be played in your Playstation 3 with an external USB HDD in few minutes. Just drag BDMV folder to multiAVCHD and select START - PLAYSTATION 3.
* You can also remove audio tracks and add your own (external) tracks to keep final size smaller or re-encode
existing HD audio tracks to much smaller (but quality) AC3 audio tracks. 20GB bluray disk movie takes about 10-20 minutes
to be transferred to an AVCHD compatible folder, playable in any BD (BluRay Disk Player) or Playstation 3.

*******************************************
multiAVCHD output tested to work with:
- USB external HDD
- USB flash disk
- MemoryStick (Pro, Pro Duo)
- SD Card (card should be formatted correctly - not with MS Windows build-in format,
but with panasonic's utility -> (sdfv2003.exe). AVCHD folder should be put INSIDE \PRIVATE\ folder
i.e. if F:\ is your SD card, then AVCHD folder should be copied inside F:\PRIVATE (create it first).


===========================
multiAVCHD Blu-ray output tested to work with:
- DVD-R/RW media
You need to burn the CONTENTS of the output folder (i.e. BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders)
at the root of your DVD/BD compilation.
*******************************************


*** Features of version 3.0+:
- Added support for DVD disc import (IFO playlists and VIDEO_TS folders) - AVCHD/Blu-ray compliant folders or playlists and MKV/MPEG/MOV/TS/M2TS/MP4/264/M2V/VC1 files can be added
- up to 252 different files/folders will be processed, 1400 m2ts/MTS files supported


*** Features:
- 252 different titles (movies/folders) - each could contain multiple playlists and video streams (m2ts/MTS)

* Select multiple MKV, TS, MPEG, MOV, M2TS, MP4, M2V, 264, VC1 files to add to AVCHD-multi structure (.srt subtites in the same folder AND embeded ones will be added)
* Select multiple AVCHD/Blu-Ray-Disk folders to add to AVCHD-multi structure
* Select folder, containing multiple AVCHD/Blu-Ray compliant folders:
--- GUI is searching for BMVD\index.bmv*, so AVCHD name is not mandatory, nor 8.3 naming
--- i.e. you may name the folders: My_birthday, test_movie, presentation, hdtvtest, etc...
--- it is important that they have BDMV subfolder and all playlists/clipinfo-files inside

* GUI processes all selected files and compiles them in a single AVCHD/Blu-Ray format folder,
--- providing Track# selection in player menu for maximum of 252 files/folders

What it basically does is to:

* copy and reorder all your original clip/playlist/movie files into a single AVCHD folder structure
* convert various video files to AVCHD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD/SD-DVD compliant structures
* add/create menu
* create compatible output for your blu-ray player or Panasonic Viera TV (with SDHC AVCHD support) or Panasonic BD player with SDHC support or Playstation 3...
